Additional Information

Embark on a 3-hour culinary journey through the city’s vintage yet lively performing arts neighborhood, visiting three distinct venues. Although Poble Sec is located in the heart of the city, it seems a world away from the tourist masses. The cuisine is remarkable, showcasing a creative take on several traditional dishes.
This is not a big historic…

IMPORTANT: Go to the "font farola" located in Poble Sec (there are others elsewhere in town)! We meet on the corner of Avinguda del Paral·lel & Ronda de Sant Pau. Here you will find one of the city's old "font farolas" - an old fountain/streetlamp, beside a hotel and ATM. Don't be late! : )

5 stars--do this food tour! - Maribel was so knowledgeable about the food, drink, culture, and history of the area! We tried all kinds of things (some of the expected, but mostly the unexpected--and it was all delicious, something for everyone.) We had an absolutely wonderful time both during the tour and after (Maribel sent along a list of suggestions for all kinds of experiences/restaurants in Barcelona--we had an incredible final meal in the city thanks to that list she sent along!)

Great experience - Esther was a fantastic guide. She explained the history of the Poble Sec neighborhood and arranged delicious tapas at three different locations. She also explained details about all of the food and shared in some local customs. Food was delicious and I had a great time with Esther!

Wonderful food and wine tour - Excellent tour. Host Alison was so knowledgeable, the food and wine amazing, and the group size small. We would thoroughly recommend this tour. It was the best food and wine tour we have ever done

A must for Barcelona - This was a great little tour with an excellent guide in Noah. He had an excellent grasp of the Gothic & El Born quarters in Barcelona, so it wasn't just a food tour but also an educational experience. We enjoyed finding unique little restaurants with excellent food. Places that we probably wouldn't have ever stopped in on our own, but ended up returning to for a second meal. Definitely a great way to enjoy an evening & feel less like a tourist.

Excellent and delicious wine and tapas tour - We enjoyed our Poble Sec tapas and wine tour so much! All of the food and wine was really delicious and a level above anything we’ve found on our own. I am still thinking about the roast carrot dish that we tried. Even our 15 year old son said everything he ate was delicious and that is high praise! Allison is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the food and wine, Barcelona history and shopping recommendations. It was such a fun and friendly night out! Would love to do another tour or cooking class with her on our next visit to Barcelona!

Excellent Evening with The Barcelona Taste - The Food Tour with The Barcelona Taste and Lorea was excellent in every way. We really enjoyed Lorea's insight and conversation, and the food was interesting, unique, and quite good. I would highly recommend The Barcelona Taste for your small group Barcelona Food Walking Tour.

The Best of Barcelona One Bite at a Time - As a solo traveler, taking this tour was a perfect way to "dine out" with a group, rather than sitting alone in a restaurant trying to decide what to order. I was able to sample the best of Barcelona in tapas-sized portions in three small local bistros which I would never have found on my own. Esther is a passionate local who shares her knowledge of the food and culture of Barcelona every step of the way.

Walk, eat delish tapas, drink Spanish wine, repeat. - What a treat to visit small local places off the beaten track and taste delicious and authentic Spanish tapas and wines. We learned about the dishes and tried lots of new things. Good portions. Everything we ate was so tasty and Esther was a great and knowledgeable guide.
